Posted: 11/19/07 at 11:31pmJennie NAILED that chacha. Loved Helio's foxtrot, but I think his chacha was very over-scored. (Thought it does make me happy to see him in BWW's Enchanted premiere photo coverage.)

Last night bored me. No one really stood out for me, good or bad, and, for the past three weeks, the judges have decided that, as Tom Bergeron said, paddles one to eight needed a vacation. Are they really that close in skill and performance?!?
Ultimately, however, I think that Mel B. is the most deserving; she has the technique and the performance level. Jennie has shown the most growth, and I would like to see her in the final. But I think Bruno is right: she often lacks that certain spark. Marie is a natural performer and makes the absolute most of everything she does, but she lacks the technique. Helio, well, I am not a fan. I don't quite get the fury around him. He is charming, yes, but sometimes I want to smack that dopey grin off his face. He indeed is the surprise of the competition, but I think his support from the judges comes from the fact that they didn't expect him to do well at all. Ultimately, I don't think he is really that good.

But doesn't Mel have like big time dance experience? I don't even understand what she's doing there. I agree about Helio - I saw him dance last night and it seemed like his partner was leading herself. I don't get what the judges see in him at all.
I find Jennie and Marie delightful and would like to see them in the finals, but probably neither one will get there.

Posted: 11/20/07 at 1:00pmIf they don't have ballroom experience than no other dance experience matters. I personally love Mel I think she totally deserves to win this thing. Jennie improved more than anyone and did really good on her cha cha last night. Marie is so not a dancer and needs to go home. Helio lets Julianne take all the risk and just stands there swings his hips once in awhile and the judges love him for it. Oh well, as long as Mel makes it in the finale I will be happy.
I have RSD...but it doesn't have me!!!!
#107 Dancing With the Stars
Posted: 11/20/07 at 1:05pmI agree with kover; ballroom dance is a different animal. I don't think Mel's experience dancing with the Spice Girls could be considered an advantage.

I think having any dance experience has to be some type of advantage. Just the ability to pick up the choreography faster than the rest of the celebs is a big advantage.
Having said that, Mel is the best dancer left and should win. Whether or not she should've been allowed to compete is a separate argument.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
#109 Dancing With the Stars
Posted: 11/20/07 at 1:09pmI disagree. Any dance experience is going to help you out in any other form of dance, because you have the knowledge and skill to have your body coordinate with what you see in front of you. That's an advantage right there. Learning how to dance as an adult is difficult because you have used your body in a certain way your entire life, and it's not natural to move it artistically the way someone is showing you to.

As a dancer, I disagree. I concede the point about picking up choreography, but ballroom has such specific elements that can be very foreign to the muscle memory of a dancer trained in another style.
It's why I think that Sabra was so outstanding on "So You Think You Can Dance." Her training was so limited that she had not yet had the chance to have a style take over, unlike Danny who is a ballet dancer and was sometimes unable to shake that in other styles.

BOO! I am so sad for Jennie. I knew when they announced that Marie was safe that Jennie was going home. I admire her attitude, perserverance and willingness to learn and improve. I was a 90210 fan when it was on, but, now, I am a Jennie Garth fan.
I do have to say, however, that had Marc and Sabrina been in the final and danced the number they did tonight as their freestyle, there would have been no stopping them. BEST. NUMBER. EVER. on DWTS.

Posted: 11/21/07 at 12:34amExcept why was there so much time focused on Avril Lavigne? She did nothing, including not singing very well.
#113 Dancing With the Stars
Posted: 11/21/07 at 1:04amWell, none of the special musical guests have sung particularly well. At least she was better than Seal!

Okay, that was my first time seeing Sabrina, and at first I thought she was one of the professional dancers! When I realized who it was, and as I continued to watch, I realized you all are right - she should have won, there's not even a contest between her and any of the other contestants. She's a DANCER.
I'm sad about Jennie, but at least it was Mel and not Helio that got the second spot in the finals, and yay Marie!
I was cracking up at Avril - she has always tried so hard to be punk and rebellious, and there she is on Dancing with the Stars! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I thought the winners last night were announced in no particular order. Sorry that Jennie is gone as well. I knew when Marie's name was announced first, that Jennie would be out.
When they first announced that Michael Flatly would be appearing, I was really not too interested, but I have to admit that the routine they did was exciting.

"but at least it was Mel and not Helio that got the second spot in the finals, and yay Marie!"
I believe that Tom mentioned that it was not an indication that Helio was third.

Posted: 11/21/07 at 12:10pmI just meant second spot as it was announced. Marie was announced first. I don't watch it enough to know all the details, doodle! Get off my back, man!

Posted: 11/26/07 at 8:47pmWow, that had to be one of the most anti-climatic episodes ever. To me, they were all sloppy. The lines were busy, so none of my call in votes got through. I tried voting online, but there must have been a lot of traffic on ABC's site, as I couldn't even log on there.

Posted: 11/26/07 at 9:31pmI agree, this was a pretty boring finale. I was disappointed with all of the freestyles, except Helio's. I wish Sabrina had made it to the finals; I bet she would have had a creative and technically challenging freestyle. Based on tonight i hope Helio wins.
